Report: Germanwings co-pilot was being treated for depression

Andreas Lubitz, the Germanwings co-pilot prosecutors believe
intentionally crashed flight 9525 into the French Alps, was being
treated for depression, the Wall Street Journal reported.

A person familiar with the investigation told the Journal
that Lubitz was not only being treated for depression, but also
hid news of his treatment from his employer — Lufthansa's low
cost subsidiary Germanwings.

Investigators believe Lubitz locked the flight's captain out of
the cockpit as the 28-year old junior co-pilot flew
the Airbus A320 airliner into a mountainside.

According to the Wall Street Journal source, there is no
evidence that would indicate Mr. Lubitz was on any "mind-altering
medication" at the time of the incident.
